Description

“George Warner has tapped his long experience as a Caribbean marine scientist to create an accessible, beautifully illustrated, and informative guide to Caribbean corals and coral reefs, which must be in the dive bag of each and every novice snorkeler and diver.”—John Ogden, University of Miami


“A very nice, well-written overview of the diversity, ecology, and conservation of corals in the Caribbean. Aimed at laymen, it’s lucidly written and provides a well-rounded, balanced, and up-to-date overview.”—Gustav Paulay, Florida Museum of Natural History


With their stunning beauty and biodiversity, the coral reefs of Florida and the Caribbean are part playground and part research lab for the thousands of tourists, divers, and marine scientists who discuss with them every year. Documenting the wide array of corals that live in the warm waters of the Caribbean, George Warner’s Corals of Florida and the Caribbean provides a very easy-to-use (and carry) guidebook that may be both scientific and reader friendly.

Beyond detailing the sorts of corals found in the Caribbean, Corals of Florida and the Caribbean also outlines the biology of corals, from the best way they grow to their reproductive habits, even as warning of major threats to the reefs, such as hurricanes, pollution, and global warming. With more than 150 color photos and detailed species descriptions, Warner’s guide makes identifying and learning about corals entertaining and hassle free.
